NAYA Wall Street
7.8
NAYA Wall Street is a modern Middle Eastern counter-service spot where guests build bowls, rolls, and salads from proteins like chicken shawarma, kafta lamb kebab, and falafel. FiDi workers lean on it for fast, relatively wholesome lunches with plenty of pickles, sauces, and grains that travel well back to the office.
